He led the congregational singing for some 40 years. Bill was an avid fisherman, hunter and sportsman. He was always ready to go fishing, snake hunting or in the fall, a trip to Colorado deer hunting. He played baseball and was a little league coach. He was a Boy Scout Leader and he did all this in addition to owning and operating an oil & gas company. He always had his beloved dog, Jake with him everywhere he went.

I will cherish all the lovely memories I have with him for the rest of my life and we will miss him every day.
